westernnews.ca PM 41195534 September 26, 2013 / Vol. 49 No. 24 Calls for freedom London, Western rally for release of detained professors BY ADELA TALBOT MEMBERS OF London’s medical and Western communities rallied, calling for the freedom of Western professor and emer- gency room physician Dr. Tarek Loubani and York University pro- fessor and filmmaker John Greyson, who have been held captive without charges in an Egyptian jail since Aug. 16, when they were arrested on their way to the Gaza Strip. The rally, organized by colleagues and friends of the men, took place in Victoria Park Tuesday afternoon. Hundreds of sup- porters filled the area near the park’s band LOUBANI shell, many of them in medical scrubs, coming from London hospitals, as well as the campus and London communities. Another peaceful rally was slotted for the same time at the Egyptian consulate in Montreal. At the time of the rally, Loubani and Greyson had been held captive for 39 days, and had been on a hunger strike for the last nine days. While Egyptian offi- cials have claimed the pair was arrested GREYSON because they were armed and planned to storm a police station, those who know the men in Canada have called the accusations ludicrous, citing Loubani’s dedicated peace- ful humanitarian efforts and Greyson’s work as a filmmaker to bring controversial issues to light. “We must be strong. We must be vehement. We must not shy away from our task, but we must do so in a peaceful fashion,” said Dr. Amit Shah at the rally. Shah is Loubani’s friend and colleague, as well as a medical professor at Western. Loubani, who has tirelessly worked with marginalized communi- ties at home and abroad, is “deeply cognoscent” of the inequali- ties in this world, Shah continued, and was on his way to Gaza for a medical mission. The only thing Loubani is guilty of, he added, CALLS FOR FREEDOM // CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 ILLUSTRATION BY FRANK NEUFELD ADELA TALBOT // WESTERN NEWS Western’s newspaper of record since 1972 2 Western News | September 26, 2013 upload your photos Coming Events SEPT. 26-OCT. 2 flickr.com/groups/western/ 26 // THURSDAY LEARNING SKILLS PRESENTATION WRITER-IN-RESIDENCE Men’s TENNIS JUST FOR INTERNATIONAL Preparing for Multiple-choice Tests.
